Last year we were selling our BMW and were contacted by a man via email
regarding the sale. Straight away I knew it was a scam, well, almost straight away, but we played the game all the same.
Turned out he wanted us to sell the car, he would send cheque, someone would collect car ... easy.... Only he wanted to pay extra... to the tune of £3000 to a 'shipping company' as he was abroad! He then proceeded to send a cheque for £10,000.... £7000 for car, £3000 to pay shipping company. (Wanted us to send £3000 back via western union).... Crazy foreigner!!

I rang the company that the cheque had been stolen from(whole cheque book stolen), handed over the cheque and all his phone plus email details to police.

It did make me wonder had it not been for such terrible use of the English language, would this toe-rag actually get away with this with others.??

I receive emails like that every day and from banks im not even with. I have had phishing emails saying ive won the lottery every day for the last yearI Even had ones pretending to be from ebay and paypal. I never trust any emails anymore
